About The Love Starved Dogs

Tim Madigan

Band manager, rhythm guitar and vocalist

We're a new classic rock band that does several country dance songs and some funk. We play song people know and love, can sing a long with, clap to and dance to, with a premium on audience connection and creating special moments during our performances. We also feature a great female lead vocalist named Lee Ann Price, who brings Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, Pat Benatar and bands like Journey to life on our stage. Our musicians are also among the finest and most experienced in Texas, who love what they do and it shows.

We play the music the way they were meant to be played by great musicians and great singers with multi-part harmonies. But we come with a heart and a sense of humanity that few other bands can match. I'm a well-known author and public speaker, having written books about my friendship television's Fred Rogers and another, the definitive book on the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. I know how to touch people and speak to people in ways that will reach deep inside, and I know how to choose music that will do the same thing. Few bands have that capability, in my opinion.

We will wear whatever attire requested by the bride and groom.
Yes, we are willing to learn a handful of songs per the request of the bride and groom. We have very experienced musicians who either already know your requests or can learn them quickly.
We have a very experienced and talented group of musicians, including one of the Southwest's finest female vocalists, Lou Ann Price. But what sets The Love Starved Dogs apart is the band's founder, Tim Madigan. Tim is a New York Times bestselling author who writes and speaks about matters of the heart. He brings that same sensibility to music, creating special moments for his audiences.
We generally don't take requests, but learn new music at the request of our hosts.
We specialize in classic rock standards, from the Rolling Stones to Pat Benatar to Heart to Joe Cocker and Tom Petty. But we are also adding country dance tunes, and we throw in some funk, too.
Two to three hours before our performance to allow for setting up lights and sound system if needed, and do a thorough sound check of our instruments.
